Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow Cups

These tasty chocolate peanut butter marshmallow cups make a wonderful treat for Valentine's Day or any day of the year.

Choose paper candy cups to match your theme or occasion. Something so little can make a really big difference in the fun and delight of your party guests or children.

For example, you can get candy paper cups with mini hearts for Valentine's Day, shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day, stars for the 4th of July, pumpkins for Halloween or Thanksgiving, and holly and ivy for Christmas.

Oh, okay, you can just use plain solid colors if you must! :) You will find a selection of paper candy cups on Amazon along with hundreds of molds if you really want to get fancy. Have fun!
